DANGERS OF hYPNoTIZATioN.
Uses Of Hypnoiism in the Treatment OF

the cure of luracy, and in controlling the

receive suggestions tending to the commits
sion of any given crime or misiemeanor after
the lapse OF several hours OF days. and he will
commit the act at the appointed time with a
fatal certainty. The conclusions were that
the persons suggesting crime to a hypnot-

Our Naval Strength.

At length it seems that public men are re-
cognizing the needs of the establishment of
a naval reserve in this country, somewhat |
similar to what exists in European States. |
The idea has not necessarily anything to do |
with the current demand for an increase in
the number of our warships. The present
movement is in the direction distinctively Of
incre asing the marine force, the sailors Of
the navy, and in doing SO to aid in the de-
yelopmenU Of the merchant marine.
The meeting OF prominent gentlemen last
week in New York with these ends in view
indicate the probability of some definite ac-
tion by by apongress in the matter.
Naval officers, ex-naval officers, yacht
men and merchant mariners responded in
large numbers to the call for a meeting in
one of the large courtrooms in the Post Offs
Building, to discuss the feasibility of asking
Congress to enact law to provide for the
establishment and maintenance of Naval
Reserve Corps similar to that of England,
which might be called into service upon an
emergency. The room was crowded and
among others present were Captains Henry
Erben, A. P. Crooke and t. F. Kane, Chief
Engineer Joseph Trilley, Lieutenant Com
manders Leonard Chenery and G. II. Rock
well, and Lieutenant w. S. Cowes, of the
Navy; Charles r. Flint, Alfred Snow, ex-
Commodore W. A. W. Stewart, Edward
Hnken, II. X. Thurber George E. Weed,
Thomas P. Ball, Captain Samuel Samuels,
and the following ex-Naval Officers: Philip
b. Low, Roosevelt Schuyler, j. W. IIandren,
Aaron Vanderbilt, George L. Norton and
James Parker.
Commodore Elbridge T. Gerry presided
and general discussion followed, the speak.
ers carefully avoiding every syllable that
might be Interpreted as having a politi
cal bearing, and being careful not to sug
gest one feature that was proposed in the
Whitthorne bill for Naval Reserve Corps
that of bounties to ships. The resolution
upon which the discussion, was based wa.
in substance as follows: That the PROPOSE
tion to establish Naval Reserve includ
all officers and men of the American mer
camille marine, members of rec ognizet
yacht clubs, ex-offcers of Navy and Reve
nue. Marine and seafaring men generally
and of vessels to be built with reference T.
their use in time of war as auxiliary to tll
regular Navy.
1t was argued that the primary obitc an,
purpose of the present movement is to in
crease the naval strength of the Unitet
States, ard in doing SO TO aid in the devel
opment of the commercial marine. 1t wa
resolved that committee of ten be appoint
ed by the Chair-ths committee being EN-
powered to add subcommittee representa-,
such other States as may wish to act in con
junction-to confer with the Secretary Q
the Navy, and to take such action as ma
be necessary to further the establishment q
the Naval Reserve Corps by Congress. Mi
Gerry will appoint the committee in fe,
days, and the next general meeting will b
held when the committee is ready to max
its report.
